My Master Knows It All

If Xia Congyun died, the Flowing Light Sect would surely go mad and attempt to eradicate Cao Zhen. In that case, the Flowing Light Sect would naturally join the pro-war faction. But now, Xia Congyun is alive.

The Flowing Light Sect might even owe their opponent a debt of gratitude!

In the void, Xia Congyun was frozen in mid-air, paying no heed to the blood oozing continuously from her limbs. Her eyes were fixed on Cao Zhen across from her, finding it utterly impossible to accept the reality of her defeat.

She had made a breakthrough, even forming half a Golden Core with an anomaly. But what was the outcome? She had lost.

Had it not been for her opponent holding back, she would have died by now!

She, Xia Congyun, had to rely on someone of the same cultivation realm, no, someone with a lower cultivation realm, to show mercy in order to survive.

What kind of prodigy was she?

For the first time since she began her cultivation journey, Xia Congyun began to doubt herself.

In the distance, the cultivators from the Eastern Wasteland were staring at Cao Zhen in the sky, entirely in disbelief of the scene before them.

"Is this the power of a cultivator with a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pill?"

"We from the Eastern Border have clashed with the people from the Eastern Wasteland three times, yet every time it has been our side that has lost! Even Xia Congyun, hailed as unmatched among the Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills, has been defeated."

"The main issue is that Cao Zhen is too terrifying!"

"We have seen cultivators with the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection clash, but why do I feel that he is even more terrifying than them?"

"Today is not the first time I have witnessed a high-level master of the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection in action. I've also seen masters of the same level spar in the past, and I can confidently say that the other two who fought earlier, both Wu Fa from the Eastern Wasteland and Fan Tianxing from our Eastern Border, are significantly stronger than the average Perfect Completion Golden Core.

Yet this Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pill, Cao Zhen, might not match up to their Eastern Wasteland's Perfect Completion Golden Core, but he gives me the impression that he's even stronger than Fan Tianxing!"

"Is Cao Zhen, just with his Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pill, actually stronger than someone with a Perfect Completion Golden Core?"

"He's still just a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pill. Just imagine how terrifying he will become once he breaks through to the Perfect Completion Golden Core. By then, wouldn't he become the number one in the world during the Reversal Mini Epoch Period?"

Nobody could imagine, let alone accept, that a person with a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pill could be so powerful, especially since he hadn't even completed Pill Fusion!

As everyone knows, in the Golden Core Stage, there's a world of difference between having completed Pill Fusion and not having done so.

In the crowd, Jue Jianzi, upon hearing the exclamations of the people around him, suddenly had an idea and turned to Song Nianzhu and the other masters, saying, "My friends, are you not worried?"

Jue Jianzi, filled with agitation, pointed at Cao Zhen and exclaimed, "You've seen his strength. Amongst us are those with the cultivation base of Perfect Completion Golden Core. Ask yourselves, how many of you are confident that you could withstand that sword strike?"

Around him, including Yang Yudong, many of the Perfect Completion Golden Core cultivators fell into silence—they indeed lacked the confidence to block that sword!

Jue Jianzi, seeing the silent crowd, raised his voice a bit and continued, "Have you not realized something? Those who came with him from the Eastern Border, they're probably the top masters from the Eastern Border. Why would they send so many experts? They're here to intimidate us.

Especially that Cao Zhen, who is currently just a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pill. What if he breaks through to the Perfect Completion Golden Core? How powerful will he be then?

Fairy Song, you're recognized as one of the top five in our Eastern Border, actually, the top five only because you are modest. Your true strength could even place you among the top three in our Eastern Border. Do you have the confidence to defeat him after he becomes a Perfect Completion Golden Core?"

Song Nianzhu said nothing. She truly lacked confidence, especially considering the strength Cao Zhen had shown without even completing Pill Fusion.

Such a person surely couldn't fail to advance to a Perfect Completion Golden Core.

What horrors would await when Cao Zhen reached Perfect Completion and completed Pill Fusion? Could he possibly reach the legendary pinnacle of the Golden Core Stage?

Looking at the silent Song Nianzhu, Jue Jianzi's expression grew even graver as he said in a low voice, "Fairy Song, look, even you aren't confident you could stop him. Who in the Eastern Border could stand against him when the time comes?

If he started raiding through our Eastern Border, who could stop him? And what if he, leading a force from the Eastern Wasteland, invades our Eastern Border; what then?"

As his words sank in, the surrounding crowd seemed to realize the gravity of the situation. Their expressions grew stern, no longer dwelling on the fact that their Eastern Border had suffered three consecutive defeats, but rather contemplating the scenarios Jue Jianzi had just proposed.

The more they thought, the graver their expressions became.

If the Eastern Wasteland had such a high-level master leading a group of elites into their Eastern Border, it seemed they truly would be unable to resist!

Seeing the crowd deep in thought, Jue Jianzi's face revealed a deep murderous intent as he said fiercely, "Therefore, for the sake of our Eastern Border, we must nip him in the bud!

He is still just a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pill, not yet a Perfect Completion Golden Core holder, and as of now, the Eastern Wasteland isn't connected with us in the Eastern Border.
